The Safe Routes to School Program encourages students and families to get to school by means other than a car. San Mateo has adopted the 6 E's to create a successful program:
- Education: Pedestrian and bicycling safety workshops
- Encouragement: Student incentives to promote participation
- Engineering: Infrastructure improvements to support safe school commutes
- Enforcement: In coordination with the San Mateo Police Department, ensure laws are followed to keep all school travelers safe.
- Evaluation: Conduct student travel tallies and parent surveys to assess school commute patterns
- Equity: Support safe, active, and healthy school commute options for all community members
